Boosters programme
(3months – 1.5*years)
For our under two year olds the emphasis is on love, security and fun, purposeful play.
We provide a rich and stimulating environment facilitating sensory play experiences including music and physical activities for gross and fine motor development. Cuddles, time to potter about and stories constitute an integral part of our day.
We ensure frequent and regular communication with parents and caregivers to create a smooth continuation of each child’s routines at home and to enable us to work together towards achieving developmental milestones.
